You probably will get by with three months, I did great in the beginning, make sure you get the game ready it is ice machine with compression. It helps with the pain, everyone told me elevate and ice, elevate and ice. It is great advice. I also got a scooter, you put your knee on it to get around great in the house or at school. I went shopping with my scooter and all kinds of things, I rented mine from my doctor. I believe the more you move the quicker you heal.
Now my problem, My fusion was in Jan. 08 after 4months it started really hurting it turns out I have alot of pain in my talar tendon. apparently it is swollen, I got a second opinion and my new doctor put me on a course of steroids, within 24 hours what a difference. good luck Taffy Harlan
